Polisse Page #3

Synopsis: The daily grind for the cops of the Police Department's Juvenile Protection Unit - taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it. How do these cops balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day? Fred, the group's hypersensitive wild card, is going to have a hard time facing the scrutiny of Melissa, a photographer on a Ministry of the Interior assignment to document the unit.

A bit.

But not really, in the end.

I got a woman taken in earlier.

Acting really weird with her kids.

Let's go, I'm gonna take her down.

Please! A woman with kids,

not right now.

To take your mind off it.

Can't we do a rape or gang rape?

It'd be cooler for me.

Come on.

How do you explain your first child

being calm at night,

when it's bedtime,

and not the second?

You raise them differently?

- Sure.

- Meaning?

I don't jerk the little one off

every night.

The social worker told me to stop.

You don't jerk the little one off

every night

because you were told to stop.

Yeah, she said it was wrong,

so I stopped.

It's dumb.

It was the only thing that worked,

giving him a little handjob,

or blowj*b sometimes.

A handjob put him to sleep in seconds.

If your husband comes home agitated,

you give him a pacifier?

No, I...

Do you realize what you're saying,

Mrs. Leclerc?

Do you realize

what you do to your boys is rape?

No way! I don't rape them.

I caress them, I kiss them.

What is rape for you?

It's when...

When there's penetration.

Any sexual act

between minor and parent is illegal.

You know that?

Does that ring any bells?

It's cool, the table fits,

so all 3 of us can eat in the kitchen.

Or 4 of you if you pull out the table.

What's the point?

There's only 3 of us eating.

This is the living room with...

my bed and...

It's pretty spacious, isn't it?

Spacious is maybe going too far.

- You have a view at least.

- Here...

Take your ring back.

What for?

No marriage, no ring.

I brought your scales.

Can I assemble stuff?

No, thanks.

A friend's coming by to help.

If your friend's coming by, I'll go.

Just for me.

No, I don't want to.

It'll look good on the class photo.

No.

Here...

Look how cute it is.

I don't like it.

- Very pretty.

- They'll all laugh at me.

Stop that now.

Okay, fine.

Go see your mother.

I give up.

She's decided

to be ugly for the photo.

What?

See you later.

I want to go to boarding school.

You want to go

to boarding school like Clmence? Why?

Daddy loves me too much.

All daddies

love their little girls too much.

What's all this about?

Mommy.

What?

He loves me too much.

What are you saying?

He can't hear us for the TV.

- Hold on.

- Don't.

You okay?

Got any earplugs?

It's cool.

Okay...

Goodnight.

You have a good day?

Tell me.

Grim.

Grim?

I need to talk, to share stuff, Baloo.

You understand?

- You want us to talk?

- Yes.

You want me to get home at night

and say, Hey, honey!

Wow, you made coconut chicken,

my favorite!

We're gonna have a great night.

I'll tell you

how a 74-year-old granddad

f***ed his grandson up the ass.

Sure, if you put it like that...

I put it like that

because that's how it is.

Really?

You think I'm some airhead, don't you?

I deal with drama

all day long at the nursery.

Drama at your uptown nursery?

Pure instead of cream cheese?

What a drama!

- I don't want sex now.

- Me neither.

F*** it!

I gotta be up at 4. Goodnight!

Why 4?

I'm getting up at 4 in the morning

to snatch Romanian kids

from their family,

their parents, aunts, sisters,

put them in a shelter

and be a total a**hole for them.

Maybe I am,

destroying their lives.

So I start at 4.

So your pure and cream cheese,

stick 'em up your ass! Dry!

You jerk!

You're out there saving humanity

with your buddy Fred,

saving the world's kids.

Incest's only in Belleville?

Where I work, they're all rich?

Don't be stupid.

You only get kids from Belleville

and the north?

There's no incest uptown?

Know what? Go sleep with Fred.

You piss me off, both of you!

You'll wind up in your studio,

like two misogynous a**holes!

F*** it!

Sh*t! You put whiskey in it?

Me?

- Tastes like sh*t, what is it?

- Whiskey.

That's all I need.

Take the covers, I'm too hot!

I gotta cool down.

You cool down.

Welcome, everybody,

to the Caganescu operation.

Thanks to you all

from the Crime and Riot units,

and the judicial division

for coming along.

It's early, I know,

but Paris is pretty early morning.

The fog, the glistening streets.

Okay, you don't like my poetry.

I'll hand over to Capt. Gerard.

We're working with a mandate

from a Paris judge.

The charges are...

Inciting minors

to commit crimes as part of a gang.

Lieutenants Del and Langlois

will brief you on the details.

We're going to be

in radio contact on 41.

The signal will be given by Orange 1.

Transportation details

are on the route map.

We take the beltway to Montreuil,

down Rue Raspail in single file

and into the camp in our vehicles.

We arrest them right away?

No, wait to be told

and watch out in the caravans.

It's risky.

It's worth listening.

This is for your information.

We know the case, the danger.

You don't.

The single-file thing. Last time...

Turn onto Raspail here

and enter the camp here.

Single file

stops everything getting out of hand.

I was just asking.

We all park up here

and move in this way.

I'm not with my partner?

Mathieu!

Any other questions?

Not anymore, no.

Police!

Open up!

CPU! We're here about the kids.

Follow us, sir.

Any kids here?

Everybody out!

Get dressed first, please.

Faster than that, please.

Where are the kids?

Outside!

Move it!

There are 3 in here.

Where are the kids?

C'mon, hurry up!

Calm down, sir. Keep calm!

We need backup here!

Baloo!

Give me the cuffs.

Give them their shoes.

Hands off our children!

You've no right to be here.

Don't worry, sir,

we play by the rules.

Yes, you'll have an attorney.

You're coming with us

somewhere warm,

where you'll get a hot meal.

You'll go to school

and play games, okay?

Sir, you're under arrest for inciting

minors to commit crimes as a gang.

Got that?

Yes, but in France

parents don't exploit their kids.

What did we do?

Why take our parents?

You haven't done anything.

There were five in the...

Nobody left in the tent?

Reassure them.

You're scaring them.

Tell them you'll see them again.

No, it's not our fault.

- Please, give me my sons.

- No, sir.

Leave my children, please.

No, stay where you are.

You stay with your brother.

Reassure him.

It'll be okay, son.

What's your brother's name?

Gabriel, it's okay.

What's left to do?

We're done.

Reassure him.

Get on the bus nice and quietly.

We're going to a shelter.

You'll see your parents later.

You'll be together in the shelter.

Keep calm while we count you.

One, two,

three, four, five, six...

Those two little brothers...

We want a song!

Napoleon?

Julius Cesar?

70,0 Gun!

That's a Greek.

The Greek Way!

Boat...

A shark? Jaws!

Robin Hood!

The Emperor.

The first to America.

Christopher Columbus!

This is my house,

you could lose now and then.

I'm going to bed.

Bed, tent...

Tent!

Carry On Camping!

That was too easy!

That's easy!

Beard.

Arrogance!

Rabbi Jacob!

Contempt!

When's our turn?

Contempt. Godard!

Look at Mathieu!

When's our next shag?

- Tonight.

- Tonight?

You didn't tell me.
